It won't because the people looking at them will not have any sympathy to the cause because of the disrespect to the flag and country. It actually pisses those people off. Protest on your own time and not on the people who buy these tickets and consessions time.

It is quite literally their time.
I would say that every athlete knows the perception and repercussions of kneeling, and yet they still do.
Why?
Because their cause is that important to them.

So while you bitch from the stands and pound $5 beers and hotdogs, they are trying to make a difference.

Disagree with the method all you want, but the president speaking on this issue was the most validating thing that could have happened for Collin Kaepernick.
